I agree, that's how I read it too.

I don't see anything about releasing instructions on how to reproduce the binaries in there. Can you point to where in the GPL it says that. Also, what version are you looking at. Most of Linux is under GPLv2 I believe.
That all said...
How do you know that Bookeen modified and distributed that modified GPLed software?
Writting an app that runs on Linux and releasing it in no way requires that source code to be licensed under GPL also.
